Vineyards easily outnumber suburbs. It isn't that Lodi couldn't grow; it simply chose to stay true to its roots. This is a town where people live. Not for weeks or months. But for generations. Wine grape growers farm sustainably to preserve the land for their children and their children's children. It is not uncommon to find 4th or 5th generation wine grape growers in the tasting rooms because Lodi is the kind of place where the growers enjoy pouring a glass and sharing their creation. Lodi is a place where visitors are welcome. To taste the wine, visit the museums, spy on the birds, explore the Mokelumne River, or just simply relax and stroll in our historic shopping district. One thing is for sure, Lodi is known for its award-winning wines and genuine hospitality. This planner will give a taste of what's in store for you in Lodi. But, like a fine wine, the label reveals only so much. It's more fulfilling to actually experience it, firsthand. This is Lodi. Discover someplace special. . 4• rom" rolL?t 6 4 7'IJ.

Some have suggested the town was named in honor of Lodi, a local, fast -trotting horse that set an impressive four -mile record. Another camp says it was monikered after Lodi, Italy, the Mediterranean city where Napoleon celebrated his first victory over the Austrians. And then there are those who swear Lodi, Illinois is its namesake. Whichever story you stand by, the fact remains clear that in 1874 Mokelumne (or Mokelumne Station) became Lodi, California. Since its inception, the town has been a farming community, supported by a host of close-knit, farmer -friendly businesses and diversions. Grapes have pretty much been at the heart of Lodi's growth. There was a time when watermelons and grains were part of the harvest. But it's Lodi's distinctive loamy soil and cool delta breeze that make grapes grow so richly. In fact, the climate and soil are so just -right that the Lodi Appellation was conferred upon the region in 1986. The designation is a purple badge of honor that's increasingly being seen in greater numbers on store shelves around the country. Throughout its history, the town and its grapes have grown up together. Initially, the Tokay variety of table grapes pushed Lodi into national prominence. The fruit also made a passable wine, as well as sherry and ports, and distilled nicely into brandy. Following the repeal of the Prohibition Act, however, Lodi truly came into its own. As American palates matured and their tastes shifted from dessert and table wines to more sophisticated inclinations, zinfandel production (along with other varietals) soon outpaced the Tokay. Today, over 90,000 acres of zin, Chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, viognier, syrah, merlot and cabernet sauvignon are harvested, carrying on a tradition that's been in place in Lodi for almost 140 years.

Outdoor Recreation and Attractions Water has always played a central role in Lodi. The Mokelumne River's fresh water, a product of snowmelt from the nearby Sierra Nevada, is what makes our grapes so special. It also plays an instrumental role as a source for fun and escape. Kayaking, pedal boating, swimming and fishing keep visitors and locals alike refreshed and laughing. For their day's adventures, many visitors congregate on the shores of Lodi Lake, named by Sunset magazine as "one of the great inland beaches." Just outside the city limits, from September through February, birders get a special opportunity to watch the Greater and Lesser Sandhill Cranes make their annual migratory fly -in at the Sandhill Crane Reserve. Spying on a bird 5 feet tall and sporting a 7 -foot wingspan is nothing short of breathtaking. If you are looking for family adventure, Lodi has something entertaining for every member of the family. The Micke Grove County Park is a destination unto itself. Visitors can spend the day exploring the Micke Grove Zoo, sit in the shade of the Japanese Garden's cherry blossom trees, or laugh and play together at Funderwoods Amusement Park. At the San Joaquin Historical Museum, visitors can learn about the history of the region, and see the antique tractor exhibit, the San Joaquin County Schoolhouse and the blacksmith shop. Children and parents alike will enjoy a visit to the Serpentarium and the World of Wonders Science Museum, where education is fun and abundant. So, bring your curiosity and a desire to discover, and you'll see that wine is only a part of Lodi's charm. 24 V L S L b 0 CL L.
